Well, that seems like reason enough for me to try. Thanks.

For those of us who did not lose the climate controls when the 3.4 version was originally released, is there any benefit to the update? My owners page indicated there was an update for my truck and I downloaded it, but I am hesitant to install it as it has been working OK.

For my situation, the PCV system was the first thing Ford had them check. Your right about no reported problems, except for the issue itself. I believe that it is probably because no one with the issue, has enough miles yet? It seems I have the issue worse than most, with 3 oil samples in the...

My truck at 75+mph on the highway with cruise and any headwind at all, will be in the 2-6psi boost and 14.5-15.2 AFR according to the Torque app. AFRs only go richer than that when I put my foot into it.

I think you misunderstood, those were things I tried as more of an investigation into if it affected my oil rise issue. Turbo spools more when engine is under load. In 10th on the highway with the cruise set at 75, with any wind at all, boost can be, say 2-6psi and I can shift down to ninth...

Not beating a dead horse, as there has not been a definitive cause identified yet. Some may have a little fuel dilution, 1-4%, and that may or may not be from short trips, but oil levels into the twist are not from short trips. Something is wrong. Open a ticket with Ford Customer Care and...

Your situation sounds very similar to mine, longish commute, mostly highway. My problem did not start until ~10,000 miles on the truck. In fact my oil level never rose, not at all, during the first 10,000 miles. I did do my first oil change much earlier than you, at 4,000 miles, when I...

I think I have a little experience with this issue, as the dealer has changed my oil 6 times in the last 10,000 miles and that includes almost 5,000 miles on this last change. My next appointment is on the 16th, where they will send out another sample for testing. Of the 3 samples that Ford...

Probably the same one I have been watching? Looks like the first units shipped in December, but I have yet to see any real-world customer reviews.

I believe dealerships just spew out whatever think may sound plausible. My truck was rock solid, oil level never budged, up to ~10,000 miles, and then the flood gates opened and I now have almost 23,000 miles and Ford is still trying to figure it out. Double digit fuel contamination in every...

This is not a logical conclusion? I have this issue, and I never make short trips. Would that then be evidence that long trips are a cause of oil dilution issues? Sure, short trips, without time for everything to get up to temperature, are likely to create conditions that would make this...

Ford doesn't seem to have an issue with 12-13% dilution, so I do not believe they would pay any mind to 4%? I am only ~800 miles from the required 5,000 miles on the current oil change, before they will take the truck in and send out another sample and decide where to go from there. I should...

In Wisconsin, you have to fill out and file a MV2691 form. The form starts out stating your situation has to meet one of 2 conditions to file: The dealer failed 4 times to fix the same nonconformity in the first year of ownership The vehicle was unable to be operated (“out of service”) for 30...

Well, I have not checked my oil level in a week or so, as I just got sick of doing it everyday. Last night I noticed the smell of gasoline in my garage. I checked my oil level first thing in the morning and the level is at about 3/8in above the twist. That matches about the highest I had ever...

Honestly, I would not call 100k a win. If Ford built vehicles, if properly maintained, that could not run well past 100k, they would go out of business. All my F150's went well over that mark before I sold them or traded them in. Don't get me wrong, a free extended warranty is better than...

I am a little over half way to the 5000 miles they want on this oil change. It will probably be late January or February before I get to that point.

No, I have not considered that. Other than this issue, I love the truck and it is a good fit for me. I am a ford guy and have only bought Fords. My last six vehicles, over the past 22 years, were all purchased brand new, all Fords, 3 F150's, a Mustang, a Ford Focus, and now the Ranger. I...

I put the request in with the Ford Customer Rep that I was working with and they said they submitted it and about a week later they told me it was denied. I never got any paperwork. When I look up the WI lemon law it does say: One of the following happened during the vehicle’s first year and...

Totally the opposite for me, compared to Doc, my trucks oil level was rock steady the first 10,000 miles and then something had to of happened to cause the issue that is ongoing for me. Everything the dealer has done, has made no change, except after the last attempt, in which they swapped out...

Unfortunately in WI, the dealer gets 4 tries or you need to not have use of the vehicle for 30 days or more, but that all has to happen in the first year of ownership. My dealer has had 8 tries, and counting, and I am well over the 30 days, but my problem first started 11 months into ownership...
